To breed or not to breed, Conformation opinions on my Silkie?

[msiler]

Hello! I’m looking for some opinions on the conformation of my Silkie cockerel. He is 7 1/2 months old from true black to black breeding.

Looks like a good start, though not perfect. If you don’t have anything better, he would be a great start to a show strain with a little work. Just watch the tail feathers, some are lacing together/unsilky.
